EPA Final Decision Regarding Waters Added to California's 2004-2006 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 June 28, 2007 Dorothy Rice Executive Director State Water Resources Control Board P.O. Box 100 Sacramento, CA 95812-0100 Dear Ms. Rice: I am hereby transmitting to you the final list of waters and pollutants that EPA is adding to the State’s final 2004-2006 Section 303(d) List (see Enclosure 1). We have separately identified those waters which we proposed to add and those which were already on the State’s List (see Enclosure 2). A detailed responsiveness summary explaining public comments received and EPA’s responses is also enclosed (see Enclosure 3). On March 8, 2007, EPA took action on California’s 2004-06 §303(d) list, disapproving the State=s decision not to list 36 additional water bodies and additional pollutants for 34 waters already listed by the State. EPA provided public notice and solicited public comment on its identification of additional waters and pollutants for inclusion on California’s list. EPA reviewed the 19 written comments received from the State and other commenters. We concluded that one water body, North Fork Feather River, does not show impairment due to copper and thus does not warrant inclusion for copper on the list of additional waters and pollutants identified by EPA. We have also determined that several water body-pollutant combinations identified by EPA on March 8 were already included by California on the State’s 303(d) list of water quality limited segments; therefore EPA has revised the list of our additions accordingly. EPA has not issued an approval for the State’s decision to include Walnut Creek for toxicity on the list. This waterbody-pollutant combination was originally listed on the State’s 2002 list; however, the available monitoring data provides mixed toxicity results and so continued monitoring will yield better assessment conclusions in 2008. In the meantime, EPA requests the State retain Walnut Creek-toxicity on its 2004-06 list and include a footnote stating that EPA deferred action on this listing in 2004-06. EPA is also providing clarification regarding the contents of State’s 2004-06 303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed by USEPA Approved TMDLs. EPA has issued approvals of TMDLs adopted by California after November 30, 2006, which should be included. This portion of the State’s 303(d) List does not accurately reflect the specific water body-pollutant combinations of some TMDLs established by the State and approved by EPA prior to November 2006. We provide this information to clarify the contents of this List and we request the State to update California’s 2004-06 303(d) List – Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed by USEPA Approved TMDLs (see Enclosure 4). We look forward to working with the State during the 2008 listing process. If you have questions on any aspect of this final listing decision, call me at (415) 972-3572 or Peter Kozelka at (415) 972-3448. Sincerely yours, /signed by/ AlexisStrauss Director, Water Division Enclosures Enclosure 1: Water body-pollutant combinations added by EPA to California’s 2004-06 §303(d) List.

We concur with the State’s analysis that these waters are impaired for the specific pollutants and we clarify these water body-pollutant combinations in Table 2 below as being already on the State’s 303(d) List (either sub-list: Water Quality Limited Segments Still Needing TMDLs or Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed by USEPA Approved TMDLs).

On March 8, 2007, EPA disapproved California's decisions not to list 36 water quality limited segments and associated pollutants, and additional pollutants for 33 water bodies already listed by the State. EPA identified these additional water bodies and pollutants for inclusion on the State's 2004-06 CWA Section 303(d) List. EPA published a public notice of availability of its decision in the Federal Register on March 15, 2007, and solicited public comment on its identification of these additional waters and associated pollutants for inclusion on California's 2004-06 Section 303(d) list. EPA also posted the notice of availability and decision documents on its Region 9 web site. Decision documents were also available upon request from Region 9. Written comments were received from the following parties concerning the issues identified in parentheses: 1. Best, Best & Krieger, LLP (Lake Elsinore) 2. California Coastkeeper Alliance, NRDC and Heal the Bay (multiple issues) 3. City of Ventura (Ventura County beaches) 4.

  • Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities Appendix 3.A  Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities
    Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities Appendix 3.A Detailed Description of Water Quality Priorities The identification of Water Quality Priorities is an important first step in the EWMP process. The Water Quality Priorities provide the basis for prioritizing implementation and monitoring activities within the EWMP and CIMP and selection and scheduling of BMPs during the RAA. The identification of Water Quality Priorities is required in Section VI.C.5.a of the Permit as part of the development of a EWMP. The Permit defines three categories of WBPCs to support the development of priorities, as shown in Table 1. The Permit establishes a four‐step process that leads to prioritization and sequencing of the water quality issues within each watershed, ultimately leading to an organized list of Water Quality Priorities, as follows: Step 1: Water quality characterization (VI.C.5.a.i, pg. 58) based on available monitoring data, TMDLs, 303(d) lists, stormwater annual reports, etc.; Step 2: Water body‐pollutant classification (VI.C.5.a.ii, pg. 59), to identify water body‐pollutant combinations that fall into three Permit defined categories; Step 3: Source assessment (VI.C.5.a.iii, pg. 59) for the water body‐pollutant combinations in the three categories; and Step 4: Prioritization of the water body‐pollutant combinations (VI.C.5.a.iv, pg. 60). Table 1. Water Body-Pollutant Classification Categories (Permit Section IV.C.5.a.ii) Water Body‐Pollutant Category Combinations (WBPCs) Included 1 WBPCs for which TMDL Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBELs) and/or Receiving Water Limitations Highest Priority (RWLs) are established in Part VI.E and Attachments L and O of the MS4 Permit.
